Dr. Arthur Agatston, the heart surgeon who developed South Beach Diet has explicit in a recent interview that the diet is not low-carb, as all and sundry labels it.

Speculating the tidal wave of stop in quality of the low-carb diets, copious hastened to say that Dr. Agatston's recent acknowledgment is issued from his misgivings that the fare would go wrong nudeness understood by this current. The way I see it, the allegation was made not necessarily as a defense hostile the popularity fall, but as a impulse against regular associations near low-carb diets, mega next to Atkins diet, with which it shares understated parallel but of which it basically differs.

What is it that the two diets share? The widespread points of the diets lie in the macromolecule regulation during the inchoate phases, near the observance of ketosis. But, talking of the following phases in the diet, unlike the carbuncular recommendations of dictatorial markdown of carbohydrates and foods full in drenched fats that Atkins makes, the South Beach diet recommends changeover of all comfortable carbohydrates beside complex, fine ones. In fact, South Beach fare recommends uptake of oodles of in one piece grains, tan food grain and fruit. Also, it effectively advises hostile all soaking wet fat, recommending instead unsaturated fats consumption, stressing on the vigorous properties of the olive oil and aquatic vertebrate oil.

So, is Dr. Agatston's assertion that the South Beach fare is not a low-carb diet a upshot to the attenuation of the low-carb craze? In fact, near the accusation that "We are not low carb. We are righteous carb", Dr. Agatston reestated fragment of what he proclaimed in his newspaper "South Beach Diet", that the fare was neither low-carb nor low-calorie. So, how Dr. Agatston could have best-known in 2003, once the work was published, of the swift driblet in proportion of low-carb dieters - from 9% in January 2004 to 4.6% in September 2004?
